A living descent into hell, on your desktop
The Six Gates of Doom is a hand-built DOOM-style world that runs as a true animated wallpaper behind your icons. In attract mode it marches your marine down through six gates of hell, the raycaster engine drawing twisting corridors, demons and gore in glorious retro pixels. Press Ctrl+Alt+P and it becomes a playable first-person shooter — strafe, blast and survive your way through the same six gates, with the number keys 1–6 to jump straight to any one of them. It's far more than a static wallpaper or a looping video: it's a retro FPS live wallpaper for Windows you can actually play.
Where the descent takes you
The Ashen Foundry
Rivers of molten iron split forge halls where furnace-hearted demons stoke the fires of the first gate.
The Mire of Teeth
Wade the rot and drool of a fanged bog where mosquitoes the size of horses hunt you between the reeds.
The Vaults of Gravity
A honeycomb where the floor becomes the walls — weave the lattice of cells and mind the bottomless gaps.
The Crimson Cathedral
Bone towers and blood-glass windows loom over the nave, where a pompous cardinal awaits your trespass.
The Endless Siege
Push past rusted tanks and mass graves across an open bailey while winged horrors circle overhead.
The Throne of Oblivion
A throne carved from the void — the final boss waits at the bottom of the descent for the last stand.
Not a picture. A world.
Press in and fight
Press Ctrl+Alt+P and the wallpaper becomes a real DOOM-style first-person shooter. Press again to hand it back to the demo.
Runs behind your icons
It lives on your desktop as a true animated wallpaper — frame-capped, quiet in the background, and it pauses for fullscreen games.
Raycaster retro FPS
Six gates of hell, each a hand-built level the engine renders live in retro pixels, with CRT scanline and HUD toggles.
